Building Envelope Structure and Design Services
Our specialty is in dealing with the “shell” or “building” envelope that forms the barrier between the interior and exterior of the building, as well as issues which may arise through occupancy or renovations of the interior.
There are many components in a structure’s building envelope that are subject to design, construction and installation issues. Some issues require several years of operation before the problem is even noticed. Our team has the knowledge and experience to consult on the numerous conditions we observe in the field and offer targeted solutions to building problems. Our understanding of common defects and issues equips us with the collective expertise to address the challenges faced with new and existing building enclosure systems.
Building Enclosure Systems Inspections and Testing
Verifying building enclosure systems meet defined objectives and performance requirements is essential to long-term sustainability, durability and occupant comfort. Often, buildings are constructed with design flaws that result in air infiltration of water intrusion into interior spaces. Implementing an inspection and testing plan can aid in identifying potential conflicts or problems in building enclosure systems and assemblies to optimize building performance.
